I'm glad that you have such a terrific memento of your mom. It must be very comforting. cheers, frank ========= What he said, Joe. I have a stack of old family photos, and I keep thinking I should get them scanned, fix them up (some are rather aged) and make a collage of them or something. Shame for them just to keep deteriorating. And some people (my nephews, say) might not know who they are all are (I could make some notes on the back -- attach a sheet). I have them of ancestors on my mother's side and on my father's side. Since Mom, at 91, has outlived most of her and my father's relatives, she has ended up with a lot of pictures. Preserving family photographic history is more important than most think. Usually negatives are not saved or were not available in the first place if they were studio portraits. Marnie aka Doe
